No visit.

"If at first you don't succeed, try, try again" We did that today as we started out for the Rogalin Palace. The weather was cooler today so it was a good day to be able to walk around without being hot. Instead of having breakfast at home we decided to have it at the Poczta Café in the rynek. I ordered what they call a Polish breakfast, 4 sausages, 1 hard boiled egg, horseradish, tomatoes, pickles, buns and lettuce. It isn't really a Polish breakfast because that is usually yogurt, ham, kielbasa, tomatoes, cheese and bread. Anyway, it wasn't that good because the pickles were sweet pickles, the kielbasa was mediocre and the bread wasn't good. To drink I had cold coffee which I inadvertently spilled on my shorts and the floor. Joan had scrambled eggs that were overcooked so she didn't like that either. It's not a place I would recommend if you're in Poznań.

OK. so after that fiasco was over we did what I have done many Times in my life and with my life, I took the road less travelled.....to Rogalin where the palace is. It's only 20 minutes south of poznań so it's not a long drive. The road I chose took us through some small villages and through the forest also. It was a nice drive. Upon arriving there were two huge tourist busses parked and as a result the line to get tickets to see the palace was VERY long. Both of us not being fond of waiting in lines, we decided it wasn't our day to see the palace and instead just went for a ride in the countryside. I should have thought about the weekend being the biggest time for visitors but I didn't. We decided to see what the weather will be like this Tuesday and maybe go there after my therapy. Hence, we're going to try again.
